Imperial Secrets - 5

"It's not just an invasion, it's the destruction of the Great Xia Kingdom and the extinction of its people! If the Qiu Te people defeat the imperial army today, the emperor's power will inevitably suffer a heavy blow. Then we will have the opportunity to rise up, overthrow the incompetent emperor, and establish a more powerful and prosperous dynasty. If we don't seize this opportunity now, the empire will face even greater danger in the future. I am now determined to seize this opportunity because I believe that a short pain is better than a long one. For the sake of national prosperity, even if it means bearing the name of injustice, it is the right thing to do!"

Jiang Hanqing spoke eloquently, directing his attack at the current emperor, Wu Ming, blaming the old emperor for the Qiu Te invasion and implying that his corrupt rule was the root of all the disaster.

"Hmph! I don't understand your power struggles! Nor do I want to understand them! I only know that if a person betrays his country and his people, he will be infamous for eternity!" Fan Hu knew that continuing this stubborn resistance would likely lead to his demise, but driven by national righteousness, he refused to yield, disbelieving Jiang Hanqing's excuses and persisting in his struggle.

Seeing that Jiang Hanqing consistently disagreed with his methods, a murderous intent began to rise within him. However, he worried that Bai Yingjue might have a different opinion. Although he had successfully slept with her the previous night, he didn't hold out much hope that her usual arrogant nature would change immediately.

Turning to look at Bai Yingjue, he saw her gaze shifting between him and Fan Hu, her face showing urgency, indicating that she was still very worried about Fan Hu's fate and most likely wouldn't agree to his killing him. However, when Bai Yingjue's gaze fell upon him, Jiang Hanqing saw a gentleness he rarely saw before. It seemed the previous night's gains had been substantial; now that she was his woman, Bai Yingjue had immediately abandoned her former arrogance and adopted an attitude of complete submissiveness.

Fan Hu's eyes widened, glaring... Jiang Hanqing seemed completely disregarding his own life. The other two wounded soldiers beside him also sensed the dire situation and trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Bin and Lin Fengxian gripped their sword hilts tightly, their eyes fixed on Fan Hu, ready to draw their weapons and rush in to kill him at any moment.

Seeing that the situation was entirely under his control, Jiang Hanqing was not in a hurry. He dismounted and paced back and forth on the ground, deep in thought.

Based on their interactions over the past few days, Jiang Hanqing knew that Fan Hu was a straightforward person, a man of his word.

In this situation, even if he let him go, someone like him wouldn't reveal his secret, especially since he hadn't told him that he was the young master of the Jiang family. Even if the news leaked out, the harm wouldn't be too great.

Thinking this, Jiang Hanqing's heart softened slightly. He turned to look at Fan Hu, only to see him glaring at him with an unwavering expression. In his heart, he praised him as a "good man," and Jiang Hanqing was even more reluctant to let go of this talented individual.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Bai Yingjue speak up: "Qing, you...!" She started to speak, but then stopped.

Jiang Hanqing saw her pleading expression and knew she wanted him to spare Fan Hu. He was surprised by Bai Yingjue's gentleness and even her increasingly intimate way of addressing him; Jiang Hanqing felt a surge of joy.

Just then, Chen Bin spoke up, "In my humble opinion, this brother disregards his own safety and is devoted to the country; he is truly rare! We share the same sentiments, so what do you think…?"

Jiang Hanqing understood that Chen Bin felt it would be a waste to kill someone as talented as Fan Hu, and that releasing him shouldn't be a big problem.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Hanqing laughed heartily and said to Fan Hu, "Haha! Brother Fan, it seems you still misunderstand me! Well then. Anything…"
